Israel: Current form, latest results, statistics

Israel was assigned to the League C of the Nations Cup and was very close to climbing the league. He lost the decisive meeting in Scotland, where he was forced to win. He started hard and opened the score as early as 9 minutes through Biram Kayal. It has not managed to withstand the pressure of the Scottish team, which won 3-2. The Isrelian team has always wanted more and preferred to play the preliminaries in Europe. He hoped that by meeting strong, valuable teams, he could raise his level of play and players. Had it stayed in Asia, it would have been more frequent in mainland and world tournaments. In the last EURO preliminaries (2008, 2012 and 2016) the team was always below the line of qualifiers. The closest was in 2008 in a very strong company with Croatia, Russia and England. He finished the match with national English, 23, but he was at a point behind Russia, the one that went on.
